Hotel Offers Themed Mini-Bar Packages

Posted on: Monday, 12 February 2007, 18:00 CST

MIAMI - If you thought pillow menus in hotels were over the top, how about customized mini-bars? The Catalina Hotel and Beach Club in Miami's South Beach is offering themed mini-bar packages for $50 each and up. Forget pretzels and tiny bottles of vodka; the hotel is calling this deal "Pimp Your Fridge."

You'll actually get that bottle of vodka in the Rock Star mini-bar, which also comes with Krispy Cremes and Red Bull. For the morning after, you get Visine, Alka Seltzer, a chilled eye mask, and Gatorade. You get a pack of cigarettes with that, too, but there's no smoking in the hotel, so you'll have to step outside to light up.

The Get It On mini-bar package includes edible body paint, champagne, whipped cream, maraschino cherries, strawberries, scented candles and oil and a Barry White CD.

The Sweet Tooth mini-bar has chocolate goodies, while the Nostalgia mini-bar will take you back to your youth with fruit roll-ups, candy cigarettes and a cheese-like substance in a spray can.

The Munchie Mania mini-bar runs sweet to salty, with Cheetos and cheesecake, while the Schizo mini-bar is good and bad - something fruity, something fattening, Tylenol and Red Bull.

Nightly room rates start at around $130. The mini-bar packages must be reserved in advance.
